1 yr Anniv.@ the Land of Make Believe! May09! PTR-UPDATE-We're Home =( 5/27

What a great idea, Jen!!! I did the 25 random things on facebook, but I think I like your DIS board Disney version so much better! Thanks for making me smile this afternoon while the kids are taking tests. :goodvibes
 
Heyy that was a really cool list, I think I got the same thing on facebook. lol I can totally relate to you in how all you can think about is your trip with your DH! Seriously I talk about it alllllll the time and if I'm not talking about it I look for an excuse TO talk about it! My BF starts sentences off with "if this is about Disney I don't wanna hear it" because he really has to hear about it the most out of anyone :rotfl2: I'm so excited to be going there and going with the person I love the most and soaking in all the magic with him and I'm sure you feel the same way! At least I know I'm not the only crazy out there :rolleyes: :goodvibes
 
What a fun idea! I got tagged in that "25 Things" not like 25-times so I finally gave in and did one myself! I may have to steal your idea though and do a Disney-related one in my trip report. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this Jen! Thanks for sharing!! I've been roped into that a couple of times this week, too, from friends on FB!! It was fun that you did it all Disney!! :goodvibes

We do "Disney movie night" too in our house, usually a Friday/Saturday night, we order pizza and the boys get our their t.v. trays and we watch a Disney Movie. It's been fun and I think (hope!!) it will be a great family memory for them. They love it now and hope they never get tired to watch Disney movies with their Mommy and Daddy!!!;) Our friends just gave us an entire bag FULL of Disney movies for the VCR and it's been fun watching some new ones, we didn't have, all for free!!:thumbsup2

Good think you found about about ADR's should be made at 90 days instead of 80!! That's a HUGE difference for some great places!! Wow and that's like next week!! Woohoo!!:cool1:

Wish I could do the internship, too! But now I'm too old and am tied down for a few more (like 20!!) years...oh well, maybe we can retire there! LOL!:rotfl2:

I hope you have a great weekend!!!!!:thumbsup2

Thanks for the great info! I love movies night! Last night we rented "Meet the Robinsons" and I loved it. We both did. So I'm definitely going to add it to my Disney movie member purchase! :woohoo:

OMGosh.. hello everyone! I've seriously been so busy this week.. I dislike school very much. It's not that I hate the actually class time.. for the most part- its all the freakin extra stuff. So I have a few updates on random things.. so here goes!

Sunday, I went to my SIL's bridal shower! The food was really yummy, and most of the time I was spending my with me little SIL.. and we took goofy pictures. After we went and got our dresses. Mine fit and surprisingly for red.. I like it on me. Here's a pic of ME and Gracie-lou! (lil SIL)

Actually at first, I wanted a cute picture of us just smiling.. but she wouldn't have it.. so we went for goofy! hehe
grace.jpg

grace2.jpg


This is the only somewhat normal pic I took.. hehe
grace3.jpg


and here's the bridal party.. well were missing 2 girls.
grace5.jpg

The bride is the blonde. I feel really old around these girls.. although we all act the same anyways.. I'm 25.. and well the bride is 20..and the rest are younger.. But we have fun. I'm a kid at heart..
Ohh and I thought it was cute because my DH said.. "you are going to be the prettiest bridesmaid and I'm not just saying that cause I'm your husband" hehe I laughed.. and then one of the bridesmaid- was originally in red- (some girls are in red and some in black) and she said "I don't want to compete with you" hehe I was like what the heck?! Why are we competing.. I'm married.. so what does it matter?! hehe ahh well.

So today is my sweet friend Rachies bday! We've been friends going on 16 years.. this year! I love her very mucho! And she is turning 25.. so now shes old with me! haha :laughing: But we are getting a group together and going to dinner, bowling, and to some bar. idk where. I'm excited and also because my DH is actually going to come! hehe

Tomorrow.. is Valentines DAY!! :love: :love2: My DH and I are going to our FAV restaurant.. and then going to see Coraline. Supposively he bought me something.. nothing big.. but I did hint that I would like a heart shape chocolates.. will see if I get it! hehe

On a Disney note- It's pretty close to 90 days! 4 DAY!! Which means ADR DAY! and I can pick out my seats on my flight! Which I'm excited about because we don't being next to the wing, or in the very back.. we prefer close to the front as we can get. So we will see what happens. :rolleyes: The only crappy part about this- is that I have class all day.. starting at like 8am.. so I won't be able to make resses until I get out- around 7pm.. its my only long day..grr.

Also, We just received our "Personalized Maps" from Disney yesterday!! I love them! They remind me so much like I'm going on a treasure hunt! :laughing: Also, I like how it says our name on it. It made me all excited.. but I did notice that our resort- POP.. is like the farthest away from everything.. except Typhon.. which we don't even plan on going to. ohh well.. we like bus rides! =)

Lastly,.. now this information is pretty new.. and I'm trying not to get to excited or get my hopes up.. but I have to share!! OK So.. my DH just took a state exam for corrections.. into something idk.. but I know its in law enforcement.. he has already have recruiters emailing him and stuff.. and guess from where?!! FLORIDA!!! EXCITING RIGHT?!! :jumping1: Now, we have been debating moving out of state for..well years.. and about 3 years ago.. maybe.. we were trying to make it work (moving to Florida..right after my bst friend did).. but at the time DH didn't really have a good job.. and I was a college student.. like today and after looking into colleges.. although they weren't that much different in costs because I wasn't a resident of Florida.. so it was like double. I didn't get a much financial aid as I do now- because I'm 25.. so there just no way it would of worked.. and I didn't think it was worth it. So we decided to wait until I graduated.. but little did we know it was going to take me this long. Now here's the same problem. I'm still a student and I don't plan on transfering.. so if DH gets a job down there.. he will be moving without me.. until I'm done with school. I decided I would stay with my parents.. help with loneliness.. and I would have to deal. It would be really hard because we depend on each other for pretty much everything. We really only have each other, our friends are to far away.. soo thats what were use to. Since I live in Michigan.. its really far away and I won't be able to go see him all the time.. we won't be able to afford it. At first I started freaking out of scaredness.. :scared1: because I was thinking a year and half without him.. but then I starting thinking.. ok.. it wouldn't be that bad because I would be with him between middle of april to end of aug. during the summer, during 1 month xmas break, and during spring break in march.. and I'm sure we could fit in a few others on the way..maybe. So it wouldn't be the end of the world. DH said he would work in MI but the jobs just aren't here.. and there are many in FL and other states. He said he wants to live in southern.. I say central/southern. He said if we went down.. he would get things set up for us.. and then when I came down.. we would be settled. So.. thats all I'm going to say about that right now.. there is so much more to think about, plan about.. and search about.. ugh.. scrary. but exciting.. I might live in the sunshine state somewhat close to my FAV. place! :beach:
 
What cute pics from the bridal shower you took!! Adorable and fun!!:cutie:
And btw, 25 is NOT OLD!!!! Trust me..I just turned 36 and know what old is...lol!!:rotfl:

What exciting news and changes possibly happening in your life! I would be nervous like you not having my DH around for that long, but it seems like the schedule you have would make up for lost time between you and time would fly by...maybe it would motivate you even more to get your classes done quicker, if that is even a possibility? :confused3 But how exciting....and nerve racking, too. Keep us posted on things and tell DH good luck with finding a job, in this economy, you have to do what you have to.....:goodvibes

Woohoo for single digits!!!!:cool1:
 
Ooo that would be so exciting if you moved to Florida, think how close to Mickey you would be. My DBF and I really want to move to the States at some point in the future, but deciding where is a whole other issue, I just love the look of so many places.

The shower pictures are so cute, Did you say she was called Gracie-Lou? Isn't there someone in a film called that, I'm thinking a film with Julia Roberts (maybe Steel Magnolia's or somehting like that). And your 25 things about you are great, its a great and interesting idea.
 
Aww love the bridal shower pics, you're so prettyy!!

Thats cool that you might get to live in FL! Good luck with everything :thumbsup2 :goodvibes

I know i'm not "really" old.. but it feels like it sometimes.. every year when my bday comes.. I get all depressed like NOO.. go away! hehe I will be busy with school when he's not there. I probably have the mose difficulty when I get home at night, or trying to go to sleep. Because I don't sleep good alone at ALL. It's pathetic. Well actually, i can't get my classes done earlier.. I tried to before. I actually got some of my subject courses done earlier. But after the fall semester this year- it will be all methods courses.. and they have set classes for each semester..you're not allowed to take them all together or how you want.. and you can't take them in spring/summer.. it stinks! I'm going to post on the moving thing in just a bit. but thanks for your words of encouragment.. my best friend texted me and said "you will be fine it might be hard but it would be better for you financially. It will be a steady job with a chance to move up the ladder" She was like "get over it" hehe

Hey girl! Love the update. You are goregous.

aw thank you! I felt very tan that day and I'm glad because I'm trying to get tan for the wedding. I've finally got my base tan. yippy! :woohoo:

Yeah- that would be ALOT harder moving to the US from a different country. I can't even imagine.. because trying to decide one the states or the cities is so hard.. talk about research! hehe My DH and I have considered a few times moving to Europe someday.. not sure where exactly.. but I guess we might want to travel there first! hehe
I'm not sure if thats from a film.. Her name is Grace but I call her Gracie-luo! So idk.. I remember when I first started calling her that- it sounded familiar and I always wondered if it was from something. :) So maybe it is!


Aww love the bridal shower pics, you're so prettyy!!

Thats cool that you might get to live in FL! Good luck with everything :thumbsup2 :goodvibes

aww thanks! I'm finally getting tan.. and I don't feel so pale with my darker hair.. and I'm starting to finally get use to it.. its lightened up a bit..but its almost time to redo it.. hehe Thanks for the luck- we will need it. It's like- it sounds so exciting.. and there are a lot of jobs out there.. but at the same time.. its a big move. It's like at least 20 hrs away from MI. CRAZY! My best friend lives in Florida- Ft.Myers/Cape Coral area.. and she loves it.. but says she misses the weather changes.. I on the other hand.. hate the weather changes. I only enjoy spring and summer. hehe So if we live in southern part I wouldn't be completely alone. I'm actually more worried about my DH being alone without any friends or anything.. especially when I won't be there.. that would be lonely! BUT he does make friends easily.. always has. But I'm going to post more on it soon.. thanks for the comments:flower3: !
 
So.. on Tuesday, 17th- was my 90 day mark! So 3 months away.. still seems to far away.. but that made me really excited. The CM are always soo nice.. and its the only time I don't mind being on hold- I love all the disney themed music.. hehe It gets me all excited. BUT since I had class from the early am to like 7pm.. didn't get home til 8pm.. picked my flight seats and then went to bed.. I didn't get to call. So early WED.. I did! and I pretty much got everything I wanted. I was glad though- because ahead of time I was checking to see when Fantasmic started and I found out that it doesn't show every night.. so I had to change my dining schedule a bit... but it wasn't much of a change and we pretty much got all the times we wanted. Here's a list of are ADRs as of today.. there might be more adding and or changing..

Monday 18th- None- we won't arrive until like 12am. it will be sleepy time.

Tuesday 19th- Dinner- Boma @ AKL (TS) at 7:25pm. I originally wanted like 8pm.. but he could only give me 7:25 or 8:20.. so i took 7:25.

Wednesday 20th- Dinner- Cape May Cafe @ Beach Club Resort (TS) at 5:30pm. This gives us time to eat, go back to hotel or park and watch Wishes at 9pm.

Thursday 21st- Dinner- Coral Reef (TS) at 4pm. We wanted the first available when they open for dinner.. so we can request good seating. They open at 4 and we got the 4pm spot! yippy!

Friday 22nd- Dinner- Biergarten (TS) at 6:30pm Which this kind of works because I found out that BB closes at 5pm.. so we can go back to hotel.. get cleaned up.. and head for dinner in perfect timing.. hopefully.. because swimming always makes me extra hungry and this is a buffet of german food.. which I LOVE!

Saturday 23rd-Breakfast- Crystal Palace (TS) at 8:05am. He said t he earliest was 8am. So we are close.. hehe
Dinner- House of Blues (PAY) 7pm. Now originally on the website it said there was musical showings.. this is why my DH chose this.. but when I called the CM told me that there was a restaurant with no shows and a bar that had shows but with no food. So I made the reservations but we might change it to something else.. possibly Ragland Road or Yak & Yeti.. or something else my DH wanted. Also, I thought this was on the dining plan but its not. so we are paying for this one instead of the one on the last day.

Sunday 24th-Dinner-Fantasmic Dinner Package- @ Mamma Melrose Ristorante Italiano (TS) at 4:50pm. Originally we wanted a little bit later time.. like 6pm.. but he said with the package he only had 2 avail time and 4:50 was the latest he had.. but I'm ok with it because that will give us plenty time to eat.. and plenty of time to get there early for good seating! =D
This is also cool- that we had to switch to Sunday.. because its our last night at disney.. so it adds something special.

Monday 25th-Early Dinner- Marrakesh (TS) at 2pm.

Now here are the quick service meals- that are pretty much set in stone but could change.
Mon. 18th-nothing
Tues. 19th-Flame Tree BBQ
Wed. 20th-Cape May Cafe
Thurs. Sunshine Seasons
Fri. Toy Story Pizza Planet
Sat. Wolfgang Puck Express
Sun. Cosmic Rays
Mon. Yorkshire Fish & Chips.

Now heres my question- On Tuesday, we will be at AK all day, and are dinner isn't until 7:25pm.. we plan to eat lunch at Flame Tree..but I'm sure we will be hungry again before 7:25.. hehe so do you guys have any suggestions on good snack places or other quick service places in AK.. to eat at. We might end up going back to hotel for a bit.. and eating at the food court. We will see.

Also I found out while searching that the week we go is the "Epcot Flower & Garden Festival" :flower3: !!! I'm really excited! I don't know much about it or anything.. Btu I'm excited I'm going during something.. hehe So if you guys have any info about it.. that would help! I plan to search a little to. '
Umm.. there was something else! OHH About the whole moving thing.. well things keep going changing and rearranging.. soo.. I'll just give you the recent and current news as of right now. My DH is trying to figure out a way to go to FL to take some exam that you have to take in order to be employed at FL. He doesn't want to fly because flights are expensive during March... and he wants to drive. BUT it takes 17 hours to drive there from MI to Jacksonville.. supposively.. so idk about that. My Best friend lives in FL and she said that if he finds testing by Ft. Myers, than she will pick us up from the airport, we can stay at her grandmas condo in Ft. Myers and she has a vehicle we can use. So we wouldn't have to rent a car. I think shes doing all this because she really wants me down there.. to visit and to move there hehe. But for some reason, DH really wants me to go with him.. idk if its moral support, or because its fl our fav place. or because he doesn't want to fly alone. idk. I told him I would just stay home and he could fly- it would be cheaper. But he is insistent on driving down there. But because he said he wants me to go really bad.. and he thinks the road trip will be fun..HA! Not really.. been there done that. He also thinks that will save money... but I don't thin we will. We will make it up in gas and hotel stay. Then after I told him about my BFF idea.. he said idk I'll think about it and then like 5 mins later called his mom and said she would drive her car- so we didn't have to add miles on a car we are paying for. So then he was like thats what were doing..ugh. If we do that, we have to leave Wed. night, he has to call him Thurs. and Fri. and I luckily will be on spring break.. whoo. and then we will be there Thurs morning, friday and saturday night leave. I still think even if I can't go that he does the "BFF" idea. But DH will do what he wants even if it doesn't make since.. pff. But anyways..
Idk if I told you guys or not.. but I was researching cities that were hiring.. and I found this one that is called "Punta Gorda". It seems really nice, really close to water, safe, pretty, not to expensive to live, and so forth.. Then just for kicks I started searching rental places.. and it started showing North Fort Myers and Cape Coral.. I was like WHAT?!! So I looked it up on Mapquest and its only like 30 mins away.. then when I talked to my BFF, she said actually from where she lives in Cape Coral.. its only 15-20 mins.. and she said he was there the day before.. hehe AND her BF started out working in Punta Gorda.. and said he really liked it. Weird HUH! Cool though.. Before I knew that it was close to my BFF I was telling DH and he liked it a lot. because both agreed we preferred southern fl.. and then when I found out where it was.. he gave me that look like I picked it because it was close to her.. I was like "what?!" hehe Honestly, I really didn't.. it just happened that way. Needless to say my DH is freaking out because the application thing closes on March 30th I think..so he wants to get down and take that Fl test before then.. even though he doesn't have to take it until they want to hire him.. but he figures.. if can only help.. and if they don't hire him.. it will help for others. The only other city I like as much was "Vero Beach" but thats more central. But anywho.. thats the current update on that.. whole mess.
 
Congrats on all your ADRs!! :banana: 3 months is so soon and it will be here before you even know it. Your plan sounds really good :thumbsup2

Good luck with deciding on what to do with DH's test in FL. I think you should live near your BFF and her BF because then you won't go down there and not know anyone! :goodvibes
 
Great looking ADRs! :thumbsup2 We love, love, love Boma and I am curious to hear what you think about Cape May Cafe -- that one is on our someday list.
 
Hey, I'm a little late joining in!! Your ADR's sound great!!
I have to say, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! I think it looks awesome dark! It looks good blond too, but I love the dark!!! So pretty!!!!
